I have no children in my house their grown and on their own, but I do have 2 small dogs which have a bad habit of going behind my dining room table to do their business when my hubby is asleep in his LAZY Chair and I'm upstairs doing things! I give this an A++, it has helped so very much in the situation we have, the rungs are a little over 2 1/4" apart and our dogs cannot get their bodies through or around the Play Yard! Very Easy to set up & Sturdy! I hope Walmart will continue to sell this Item through this company I may need one for outside, as well, if our summers ever become dryer! Buy one, you won't regret it!

The item appears to be pretty solid (luckily) and was incredibly easy to set up, despite losing most of the mounting hardware in shipping. The gate locking mechanism is very basic and the design could use some fine tuning where the spring loaded sleeve slips over the metal locking lever. Overall I would rate the hardware 4 stars (possibly higher given that the gate appears to be undamaged from the amount of abuse it took due to the packaging and shipping issue). I still haven't confirmed if any of the plastic hinges and parts are damaged. My most negative criticism is related to the packaging, or the lack of. Now, yes, blame could be directed at the delivery service; however, let's be fair. Items are handled haphazardly in shipping and will take abuse. This is the reason they are packaged so carefully. The item should be packaged accordingly as to prevent damage to the product and loss of the contents of the packaging. Every aspect of the packaging of this product failed my expectations. Half of the tape failed and the ends of the box were nearly open. The cardboard was heavily damaged and there were multiple openings in the box where the contents could fall out. The styrofoam on the corners was destroyed. And the plastic baggie for the hardware was empty and torn. For example; I ordered a different brand gate that I received yesterday and it was delivered the same way. The packaging was of a much heavier construction and the internal packaging was a lot stronger. The other company used cardboard zip tied in each corner to properly support the product and prevent movement and shock damage. The mounting hardware was zip tied to the gate in a similar fashion, but it was in a much higher quality, thicker, bag that easily contained the hardware and prevented the hardware from ripping through the bag. The small dope dealer ziploc baggie used on this product was torn in multiple places, one being across the entire width of the bag. It was completely empty and what screws were left were on my tile floor at my front door. Given the size and weight of the item, the packaging should be a lot stronger. Almost every corner of the box was torn open or damaged. Half of the tape holding the ends shut was coming loose. All of the styrofoam corners were damaged and broken in several pieces, there was even a small metal fragment embedded in one of the styrofoam pieces (not sure what it came from). Quite frankly, I am amazed the gate itself wasn't damaged. I ordered this online and it looked like it had been fired out of a cannon by the time I got it. Some of the mounting hardware is missing, the few screws that were left were falling out of the box while i brought it in the house.

Pretty durable, even when she climbs on and shakes it. She’s one year old.

This is great! It keeps my grandson away from things he shouldn't get into! And it also keeps my dogs away from the door when company comes! I love it!

It’s junk. It’s not worth the money they are asking for. I’ve had it for 5 months now and all the pieces are breaking. I wouldn’t suggest to anyone at all.

I bought this to block my pet 🦌 deer from eating my Christmas trees and it worked wonderfully! He could stand and watch my trees twinkle but could not get close. I am very happy with this purchase.

Works well, the only things I could almost complain about is the fact that the door only swings 1 way and the lock just seems qeird to me and at first really awkwark. But those are easy to get used to. Glad I bought it.

I ordered this gate to block my small dogs from an area that was 90 in wide. It is great. I love the pass through door. It was put together right from the box. It's not too heavy and folds up nicely.

The idea to get this thing was such a great idea. I love the fact that it can be added on to. I don't love the idea it has to be another one of these, that there's no option to buy a small extension.

Purchased for new grandson, we created him a play area of his own and he loves it. All of his toys are in there and he can do what he wants. Easy to set up. We love it.
